Sat down and finished Arcanum today. Of the last three stories I'd read Shadows for Silence and Sixth of the Dusk before. I quite like both stories and it was nice getting to read the again.

Now that I've finally read Edgedancer (which i enjoyed quite a bit), it is time to pick up the Stormlight Achive books again.

Finished the Taldain system a few days ago. (I'll admit I skipped the comic excerpt as I read the actual comic a little while ago.) It was fun reading something that Sanderson wrote so long ago.

Sat down and finished the Scadrian system today. It was nice to reread Secret History, and I even picked up on a few things I didn't last time.

After a bit of a break, I've picked the book up again and finished the Allomancer Jack story. It was quite fun and I especially enjoyed Handerwym's annotations. Though I'll admit I was somewhat confused by them at first.

Is it just me or does the rules pertaining to James' power only matter when it's convenient? Several times now, in this and the previous book, he's been able to teleport places he seemingly shouldn't if I understand the rules behind his powers correctly.

I feel like there is constantly some details or context missing, and not in the 'it's going to be revealed later' way, it just isn't there...

And the parallels to Kaitou KID just keep coming... (The Phantom Thief might be inspired by another phantom thief, but KID is the one I'm the most familiar with and so the first to come to mind)

And honestly Red Cap just sounds like Deadpool...

A Phantom Thief that announces his thefts and steal jewels... A secret organization willing to kill for the same jewels... Now why does that feel familiar?

Started on the Scadrian system now and completed the first story, 'The Eleventh Metal'. This was also the first story in the collection I hadn't any prior experience with. It was an enjoyable little story and gave me the urge to reread the 'Mistborn' books.
